Overview

History & significance

Lamborough Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort situated inland in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The site is defended by substantial earthwork ramparts that exploit the natural topography of its location, a characteristic feature of Iron Age fortified settlements in Wales dating to the later prehistoric period. The camp's defensive strategy demonstrates the community's investment in protection during a period of considerable social organisation and potential inter-group conflict. The site remains an important archaeological record of prehistoric settlement patterns and defensive practices in southwest Wales.
